Title: Ports owned by too many
Post by: DanG83616 on June 24, 2008, 04:38:58 am

I have a composite that contains instances of components. The ports of those subcomponents show in the hierarchy as being owned by both the subcomponent and the composite (component containing the instance of the subcomponent). That seems incorrect to me. I am not sure of the consequences of this behavior yet.

I'm afraid that I'm not sure exactly what you're seeing.

I'm seeing what I expect.  If I select the port on the instance I get

Port1
  - owned by
    - : Component1 (the instance)
      - owned by
        - Component2

Then if I select the port on the classifier I get

Port1
  - owned by
    - Component1

But the are different elements, even if they are (more or less) representing the same thing.

First the hierarchy for the subcomponent instance:

Subcomponent
 - owned by
   - Component (the classifier not the instance)

Now the hierarchy of Subcomponent's port:
Port
 - owned by
   - : Subcomponent
   - Component

I didn't expect the Component. I might have reasoned that both instance and classifier of Subcomponent would be listed. Again, not sure of the consequences, positive or negative. Just wanting to understand.

Thanks,
Dan

I see what you're talking about.  I believe it's wrong.

Could you please send in a bug report about it?
